Peyoro

Looks great. I like that you didn't go weathering crazy. Very tasteful.

Yeah,... simple, clean, and gorgeous weathering.

Very fine & good job.

Vf-1s, 1/48 line

Wooow

I´m impressed with the gamma colors, almost exactly. It´s nice to see something more than valks.

Pretty nice custom Glaug for a first time kit building! Is it the 1/100 scale 25th anniversary kit? These kits are inexpensive and good for customizing with Sundowner or UK flags, like Mini Coopers.

I do wish Bandai can bring back the 1/72 scale version.

That would be Cool... Why do they limited to 1/100?

This image has put me off...

This Valkyrie needs zum food.

Someone probably already mentioned this, but the wave 2 toys were much better than the 1a's from the first wave. I haven't had any problems with limbs falling off the 2nd wave toys.

`Yup, mine´s first wave...

My Max 1A's arms and legs just keep falling off, it's very easy to transform, but also very hard to put all the falling pieces together.

I finally decide to give up the armor parts or GBP-1 set to upgrade it, don't want to waste money and time again. There are too much better VF toys to come in autumn.

Exactly,... that's what Im trying to say It´s just throwing the money to the trash, investing in a very low quality toy, unless toynami did a bunch o changes and fixes on their macross line.

With the first one bought, I had enuff to notice this is not a toy, but a series of tiny and fragile pieces, hardly joined together to form a very good looking valk, that poorly hold their arms up to hold the gunpod weight, or the head, due to defective or loose joints...

They're not expensive, but they're minor facts that can be resolved in the desk of design, to justify the mass production of an article licensed for.

sucks Peyoro but I think you might just have had a defective one. all six of my 1/100 VF-1`s are all fine still.and I don`t recall a large ammount of cracked shoulders on them reported either...but...I could just be lucky I suppose.

Um, you got really lucky. I heard a lot about cracked shoulders. Heck, mine was cracked out of the box! It's a very fine crack, so you may have cracked ones and not realize it. Mine has widened over time though, which worries me. But if worst comes to worst, I'll throw a little putty on it and let that stuff set up and it'll be good as new....well in my case better than new.

Very,... very,... lucky I´ll say..., I couldn´t find any post talking about this joints in Toynami Valks, but I surprised when I rode in this thread about some reports on cracked shoulders.

The first time I noticed this in my valk, it looked for me like a "special" fine line for avoiding future stress in the plastic, but now, I´m sure, it´s a very bad QC issue, cuz the piece is very small, and the bit on the arm is almost exactly the same size of the hole, so when they assemble it, the plastic fails.

Maybe u got a second row of fixed details on this, like Yamato´s doing with the ZERO line.

There have been numerous reports of shoulder joints cracking. The left shoulder joint on mine is crumbling. The arm doesn't fall off or anything, so it could be worse. Otherwise, yeah, I don't think the plastic was bad on these toys at all.

Hi.

The Plastic seems to be good in Quality, and love the color, but I think the joint in the shoulders is Badly designed, or is not an adecuate small piece for the stress it supports, since I opened my 1st wave "Hikaru's Vf-1A", and tried to transform it for the first time, both arms separated easily, and noticed the fine line breaking this tiny piece... I thought it was my fault , but all evidence is pointing to the BAD fit between the parts, the bit one is bigger than the hole... then I decided to never buy any other of this -Toycrappy- Valkyries. Yes, the arms don´t fall, but some day will do...

Any newz about if this is gonna be fixed in this new releases??

Any1 reccomends a glue for this issue or a fix?

TY.

Hi, I never looked closer to my 1/48 Vf-1s, and I noticed these failure in the exhausts, left side don´t fit when closed...

Any1, noticed this? Or is just mine??

Well, this is a QC fact about paint,... and I tought my Yamato was perfect...

These looks like someone scratched or sanded this piece after assembly,

a finish hand detail, but they don´t look the same in both sides...

On the left side, looks crappy:

They're minor details, except for the exhaust opening, but Just wanted to share,... Any recommendations?

Well, the 1/48 VF-1s without FP will always spread adrenaline in my blood, coz´ size does matter¡¡¡¡¡ And it's a classic..

Vote¡¡

It looks more like 1/60 ver. 2

Hi,... Look closer, it says 1/48 ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

1/48 is not dead ¡¡¡

YOOO HOOOO¡¡¡, 19 is stompin' tha 21'

Side covers where are my side covers?

Agreed ¡¡¡

Very few days to launch... Could they do it???

I´m looking forward the YF-19, I´m in love with the fighter version, and is a great battroid in shape. I´ll buy it very soon.

The 21 is a impressive fighter, but the battroid reminds me a robot monk (blue cloak), inexpressive head, and an impossible gerwalk mode (for me), due to the relative weight of a ship this size..

I think, Yamato's 1/60 line is a "test" for a future PT VF-1s,

So, if they can sculpt an -almost- perfect Valk in 1/60, Imagine a 1/48 with such innovations.

Maybe, bigger and impressive non-removable articulated hands, non-removable air intakes, the rotating seat... is not impossible¡¡¡¡

For now, Yamato is very happy making money, selling a 1/60 valk at the price of a 1/48.

They "authorized" it because they are following the bulbous appearance of the 19 in the original line-art. If you mean the skinny legs of the 1/60 19, THAT'S technically inaccurate.

And again, what was with that complete skeleton that we saw in the hobby mags? Is that only featured in some figures and not he Mac Plus ones?

Yup, but in an anime, you can even transform a Boss Borot in a YF-19 Fighter in a few steps, that´s why I liked de 1/60, cuz gives a fine shape to the fighter mode. In a way, there's a good reason to make a "bulbous" YF- in this case, being a non-transformable figure..

Well, now that I see the comparison between the Rev's and GN-U, I'm impressed with that flexing angle in knees and elbows, ¡And they're ABS¡¡¡

I'm very close to chase this new line if I see an enemy mecha coming... Any newz 'bout it?

That YF-19 looks obese, always liked the YF-19's skinny legs, but in this one... phew.

Can't imagine why Yamato authorize this shape. The internal skeleton is not an excuse.

Still, in package looks great.

That Battroid VF-1J looks like one of those capsule toys that grows when you throw it in water...

Ha, ha, ha, , exactly...

Psssshhhhh......... ..............you can't even call the 1/48 or the V.2 1/60 PT since you have to remove the intake covers for fighter mode.

Yup, even Banpresto's 1/1??_ called their Valks "PT", but this 2.0 1/60 Vf-1s is far from PT since that pair of hands are included in the set.

You're kidding right?

Sort of..

But...

-Dreaming- is free¡¡¡

WOW, AMAZING...¡¡¡... Sorry about my ignorance, ¿Where those hands came from?

Personally, I'm not that impressed with Revoltech quality to date. Out of the three Revoltech toys I've bought (VF-1J, VF-1S & VF-1A), two have had problems.

My VF-1S was missing the open left hand and my VF-1A had sloppy paint application and a crack on the chest plate, just above the heat shield.

I completely AGREE with U about Revoltech Quality, nothing brilliant, just the joint click-technology, but I noticed the samples in those exhibitions are much better in quality than the finished product, obviously the mass production system isn´t perfect, but I expected more QC in my Super VF-1s. Maybe not as worse issue problems as yours, but bad luck too.

¿What are those initial sample models made of?

¿Why are they so fine and sharp?

I understand they need to smooth those angles for a better extraction after injection, but this model samples are exactly, the selling image of the product, wich is a trick for best selling it, like all gashapons.

I´ll wait for 1/100 toynami YFs, if possible.

I really wish someone would make a proper sized SDF1 kit. Something more than 30cm (12inches) long a decent sized scale with lots of details. mmmmmm!!

Every toy company is completely ignoring how profitable is this spaceship, ¿Why are so few SDF-1 models? It is the ICON for this series...

I´m not rich to buy the Wave's 1/5000 . I´ll dream with a model that size ur saying,... hoping, will be cheaper, being just a plastic model. Hasegawa would be nice¡¡¡

Looks good. And now that you have done one...when you get the 2nd it will be easier. I did'nt realize how small that thing is....DAMN!!!

Thanks, it was just paint and glue, very few decals included in this kit. I´ll try to build another with a better finish, like sanding and filling those open lines between pieces, I´m very far from the good modelers, but it´s a great shape the SDF-1 has, no matter how small or well painted is.
